Ok, so I'm a bit late. I put together a number of photos from the 2004 National Air Tour from the stop at Anoka County. Appologies for all the people, there were an incredible number of people who turned up for how little mainstream press the event got. If there's interest, I can add some more tomorrow.

Thanks for the additional pictures. Saw the Stearman at a private function in Nevada two weeks ago, still has the numbers on it. Also saw an Aviat official plane from the tour last weekend at the Colusa Old Time Fly-In.

It was definately an experience to remember. The last time I saw the Bushmaster back in May, it still had the logo and tour number.

I can't wait to see Greg Herrick's latest project, a 1927 Ford 4-AT the oldest flying Ford Tri-Motor. I heard it was due to arrive at Anoka earlier today.

Dan,

The other Bushmaster flies out here on the West Coast selling rides. At this moment I'm putting in text with my picture of N750RW for the EAA Golden West page I hope to have up by tomorrow night...........

Looks like N750RW can be yours for only $1.5 million. Any idea where the parts of the third Bushmaster are? As I understand it, N7501V was completed in 1966, N750RW in 1985, and a third has not been completed yet.

I have heard of the existance of a third, but never seen anything on it, or where it may be

Well, it took me a month to get caught up, but I finally have the EAA Golden West Regional Fly-In up at http://www.norcalaahs.org/goldenwest2004.htm And if I'm really lucky with my time, I'll have Colusa up tomorrow
